AS PRICES ON GRAINS ARE CONSTANTLY CHANGING, WRITE FOR PRICES BEFORE ORDERING 
BARLEY 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. For an acre, two bushels. 
Beardless. great value of Barley for winter pas- 
* turage has not been generally recognized 
as yet, but many Southern dairymen have adopted it as 
one of their main crops for this purpose, using it also for 
hay. If the ground is reasonably strong, it may be firmly 
established before winter, and will bear almost continuous 
grazing until late spring, the beneficial effect upon milch 
cows in particular being most noticeable. If intended to 
be cured for hay, the head should not be 
allowed to form. Sowings are made both 
in summer and fall, and sometimes it is 
broadcasted when corn or cotton crops are 
“laid by.” Price per bushel on application. 
Virginia Gray, or Winter Turf Oats. 
A general favorite in the South for fall planting. Sown in 
September or October, they will be well set before cold 
weather, and may be grazed freely throughout the winter.

BUCKWHEAT 
Forty-eight pounds to the bushel. For

should not be sown in the latitude of 
Norfolk before the middle of July. It may 
be sown either in drills or broadcast.

the grain is free from rust. Price per

Middle Western States. (Price per bushel on application.) 
T,pp exceptionally good variety for 
^ ^ ^ Southern growers. It makes a very 
leafy growth, fine for hay, and produces as much grain as 
any other variety. Yields from 40 to 50 bushels have been 
made to the acre. It is also a hardy variety, from whence it 
gets its name “Cold Proof,” standing as much or more cold 
as Fulgham or Winter Turf. (Price per bushel on applica¬ 
tion.) 
Leap 
Fifty-six pounds to the bushel. For an 
acre, one and one-half bushels. 
For winter pasturage few crops compare 
with Winter Rye, its adaptability to almost 
all soils and situations being enough to 
make it a universal favorite. Inexpensive, 
very productive and of remarkable nutri¬ 
tive value, it can be used to advantage on 
every farm where stock is kept, and we 
strongly recommend that all unused land 
be covered with rye during the winter as 
a protection. It also ranks among the best 
green manures, and is very largely used 
for that purpose.

rye for the South and is be¬ 
coming more popular each year. It is

than any other sort, and will produce 
nearly as much grain. Price per pushel
